SECRETARY. Charles W. Earle, Esq. Temporary Offices-1, Copthall-chambers. This Company has been established for the purpose ot purchasing a property in the kingdom of Sweden, known as the Gelliver Estates, with the v.ew of developing its great resources. The property comprises— (A) About 1.200,000 acres of land, 900,000 acres of which are freehold, and the remaining 300,000 acres can be made of the of r same tenure. and Afore than 500,000 acres consist alreadypines; under cul tivation or fit tor it ; and fur her extensive districts will become available for agricultural purposes. (B) The Geltivara iron bed is probably the largest and most productive in the worid, extending, over nearly three square miles. The ore consists partly of hematite and partly of protoxide of iron, without any visible trace of pyrite, yielding on the average 65 per cent. of pure metal. The mountain was surveyed in 1857 and practical English mining engineer, Mr. Thomas, F.G.S., he reported his opinion to be that— By adopting a systematic mode of working. there may be readily extracted from seven to eight millions of tons of very fine magnetic ironstone. readily obtainable by levels, and without the application of any draining machinery; and that, no doubt, even this large quantity might be materially in creased by removal of top ruobish and vegetation on the line of bearing of the ironstone, before it will be found necessary to apply any machinery for drainage." The mountain was likewise inspected in 1812 by • Professor Erdmann, Chiet Director of the Royal Geological Surveys in Sweden, and, according to his report, a great number of the veins are estimated at trout • to 000 feet in thickness, and about 1,000 feet in length, and the produce of one single vein may fairly be calculated to equal more than three million tons of ore. (C) 215 farms, nine water and one steam sawmill, two blast furnaces, four ironworks, a ship-building yard, &c. The greater portion of this property was purchased from the late King of Sweden by an association of merchants in Sweden and Norway, whose operations have been confined to the wood businessl and to a gradual extension of the cultiva tion of the land. The wood business yields very favourable results. The annual production is about 10,000 St. Petersburg standards, or about 33,000 loads, coating on an average £3, and selling readily for shipment to England , Franc e, Sp ain, &c., at prices equal to an average of 1 ss. per standard, tree on board at the shipping ports, thus showing a profit of £1 ss. er stan dard. This production can b s considerably increased by the erection of more sawmills. The value of the iron ore is increased by the circumstance that, without encroaching on the timber adapted for more valuable purposes, tee forests of the estates and the waste wood at the different sawmills Ave an abundant supply of charcoal, at a tow cost, so that 25,000 tons of pig iron can readily be made at a cost of £1 19s. per ton, free on board at the shipping port, while the pr esent selling price is above £4 per ton. A. ready sale of the ore nay be safely calculated on at the estimated price of 15e. per ton, tree onboard, at the shipping port, te the owners of the for. sts And sewm lls on both the Swedish and Finland side of the Gul of Bothnia, who have now large quanthies of wood annually wasted, which they con d turn into value by making charcoal of it if they could obtain good iron ore at a moderate cost tor eme;ting. The only obstacle for working the mineral property has bee the oifficulty of transport of the ore from the mountain to the furnaces a. cl shipping port. The wedish Go chvern mnt and D•ete fu ly appreciating the grea St benefit whi the working of throe valuable mines would have on the national pro.perity, have now lest their aid by granting a considerable subvention for facilitating the transport. Very careful surveys have proved that the fr m om the iroo4 ecenomi cal means of transport will be by a ra lway n mountain to the river Lule, a distance et about sixty Engli4h miles, and by further making two short canal: o avoid rapids and fal s, which will render that river navigab e to the port cif Gaddvik in the Guif of Bothnia. The entire cost of thi: railway, including rolling wardstock, and of the two canals, will no t exceed £232,000, and o thi the Swedi h Government and Diet have granted a -us vention to the emount of 850,000 rix dollars, or about £48,000. This Company has cont acted to purchase all these valu eble estates for the sum of a 225,0,A, in order to carry on and extend the wood businen, to extend the cultivation of the lan , , to work the mineral wealth of the property, and to cons runt for this purpose the railway from the Gel ivara iron mount •in to the river Lule and the two canal • on that river. For these purposes a capital of £500,000 is required. The presen stock, about 8,000 standards of manufactured wood goods, will be taken over front the vendors at their actual cost price, whereby a considerable profit wi 1 be directly gained by the Company. Three years will be required to construct the railroad and the canals, so as to bring the iron business into full operation. The returns of the undertak i ng may then be fairly esti mated as under :- Ist. From the sale of 60,000 tons of iron ore to pro prietors of furnaces in Sweden and Finland, at a £lB,OOO profit of 69. per ton 2d. From the poduction of 25,000 tons of pig iron at the Company' r s own furnaces at a profit of £2 Is 51,250 per ton 3d.

The D rectors have received promises of large contracts for the construction of carriages and other business as soon as the company is in condition to commence active operations ; and the business intended to be undertaken not being of a speculative nature, but well defined, and yielding very large profits to other persons now engaged in them. The Directors, at the Second Half-Yearly Meeting of the United Kingdom Rolling Stock Company, have just declared a Dividend at the rate of 6 per cent., free of Income Tax, for the past Six Months. The amount to the credit of profit and loss was equal to the payment of a Dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. r.er annum; but in the present early stage of the Company's existence, it has been thought better to carry over the balance to the next halt year.

LINCOLN SPRING MEETING. WEDNESDAY. A sharp frost at night did not promise particularly well for the sport to-day, but the warm rays of the sun soon made it good going, and by 1 30 a much larger assemblage than yesterday had made its way to the course. The Lin colnshire Handicap was the one subject of speculation and comment. Not that betting was in any degree brisk on the occasion ; the easy victory of Anglo. Saxon the previous day seeming to point to a foregone conclusion on this. A strong party, however, went for Benjamin, the representa tive of the French stable, turned loose at 6st 121 b. They were rewa-ded for their sagacity by his easy winning; the Duke de Morny running second with Partisan ; so our neighbours have began the season in this country well. Some money changed hands on the occasion. The other events call for no particular comment, and are fully detailed below. The ground was in fair order.

It was not known what measures the governor intended to bring before the parliament. A batch of new taxation bills were expected, but on what interest the imposts were to be laid had not been announced. The governor had ordered the stoppage of all public works, the insufficient supplies provided by the Parliament last year being exhausted. The condition of colonial finances was beginning to attract attention. It was expected that not withstanding every possible curtailment of the current expenditure, yet by J une nex t the tem porary loans necessary to eke out t h e t r easurer's resources would be increased to at l east £lOO,OOO. The commander of the forces was to accompany the governor, and mako a tour of inspection of the various military stations and outposts. It was expected that the head-quarters would again be established at Graham's Town. Telegraphic intelligence received at Graham's Town on Jan. 8 states that all was quiet oa the frontier, but that another Kaffir prophet had arisen, advising the Kaffirs to sow plentifully for three years, and not to dispose of the crops, but to store them up, as after three y ears nn corn wou ld grow. This was thought to b e a d es i gn to prov id e alone for campaigning purposes. Advocate Brand, President Elect of the Free State, had left Cape Town for Bloemfontein, the seat of the Free State Government. He was feted in the colonial towns through which he passed.

The start was delayed some time in consequence of seve ral of the light weights breaking away, in the first of which Ess Bouquet, overpowering her rider, ran the course throughout, and when taken back resolutely refused to face her horses. When the flag was lowered Fluke rushed to the front, but in a few strides he was headed by Despair, who with Partisan and the favourite, Ess Bouquet, and Benja min lying up, made the running to the first turn, where Partisan headed him and came on with a clear lead, which he held into the straight, where ha was joined by Anglo. Saxon, the pair being joined half-way up by Benjamin, who headed them in a few strides, and won in a canter by fire lengths, Partisan defeating the favourite by a length for second, a similar distance separating the second and third.

Avalanche, in company with Camperdown,Baron of Avon, and Lady of the Isles, cleared the first flight of hurdles a length or two in advance of Tolurno, close up with whom came Confidence, Hetman, and Cronstadt bringing up the rear—some distance in their track. Rounding the lower turn Avalanche took a decided lead—but on reaching the flight of hurdles half-way up the hill she was again chal lenged by Camperdown, who was closely followed by Baron of Avon, Lady of the Isles, and Confidence, the lot running in close company along the far-side. On reaching the mile post the two latter were disposed of, and Tolurno fora brief period flattered his backers by carrying his colours to the front, but dying away, as they reached the T.Y.C. post the race waa left with Avalanche, Camperdown, and Baron of Avon, who ran together to the last flight of hurdles, which Camperdown cleared slightly in advance of the favourite, and won in a canter by a length. Tolurno, who ran par the pulling-up horses, was a bad third. The others stopped on the post.

Betting—Even on Creole, 5 to 1 agst Pigeon, 7 to 1 agst Cadet, and 8 to 1 agst Bolingbroke. Bolingbroke was the first away, and came over the first flight of hurdles slightly in advance of the favourite, who was closely followed by Pigeon, Cadet, Mary Hill, and Miss Rathbone, the others following at wide intervals past the stand. Proceeding up the hill, Creole went to the fore and somewhat increased the pace, Pigeon going on second, and Cadet third, when positions were retained round the win ning field to the flight of hurdles near the bottom turns, which the leading horses cleared very cleverly, but Miss Rathbone, less fortunate, fell in them, and was left some distance in the rear. On entering the meadows, Creole in creased his lead of Pigeon, Sorceress going on third, Tan cred fourth, with Cadet and Sir Richard next; the others presenting a beaten appearance. No alteration occurred in their positions, Creole holding his own to the end and win ning in a canter by five lengths, a bad third, Cadet was fourth, Miss Rathbone fifth, Tancred sixth, and Mary Hill and Emblem, side by side, next; Bolingbroke trotted in last.

SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC.—Lsst evening an in quest was held in Leman-street, St. Saviours, on the body of Joseph Chapman, aged 47. The evidence showed that the deceased, who was a house-painter, had recently exhibited symptoms of a return of mental disease, from which he had previously suffered. On Sunday he managed to elude the vigilance of his wife, and threw himself into a cistern containing 14 inches of water. When discovered and taken out life was extinct. The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity.

They are as suitable for the child first entering on the journey of life as fur the old man tottering towards its end. The ointment is a specific for cuts, bruises, abrasions, and eruptions often witnessed in the nur sery, and it is no less efficient in healing up soundly and permanently the chronic ulcers, &C., which so often heap misery on trivanced years.

Feb. 22, By this time you probably know positively not only that the Prussians are at Kolding, but that they mean to remain there, and also to hold Godse or some other point to the north-west, on the road to Frederica ; so that J utland is decidedly invaded. It may be doubted, however, whether such invasion will, at least for the present, have such serious re- sults as some here have anticipated. The stringency of international law, or at least its enforcement, seems to have slackened of late. With respect to this occupation of a nook of Jutland by the allies, it ap pears that it was effected by Marshal Wrangel in conformity with the general instructions with which he was furnished at the commencement of the cam- paign ; bat probably the Berlin Government thought he would again have referred to it before carrying out that portion of the plan. This is explained the declaration alleged to have been made in Vienna by the Prussian Cabinet, that this Government was as - _ surprised as that of Austria on learning the event. In Berlin to-day it is not believed that there is any present intention of a more extensive occupation of Jutland than that above indicated. A glance at the plan of Fredericia shows that it would be a pretty hard nut to crack, if, as well defended as we may fairly expect that it would be. The gain to the allies by their occupation of . Kolding and a email portion of the adjacent country is supposed to be that they will thereby hamper the enemy's commu nications between Jutland and the islands. They cannot prevent, but they can impede them. It may be asked 'if this advantage is an equivalent for the political complications arising out of the invasion of Jutland. Some people are in- dined to treat these complications lightly, by reason of the many rents that have lately been with impunity made in the code of international rights and of usages having force of law. Prussia and Austria seize upon Schleswig, they say, as a guarantee for Denmark's execution of her engage ments. They are not conquering or appropriating the country, they merely hold it as a pledge. One might suppose, therefore, that it was their duty to maintain the status quo, and at least to take nothing oat of the land, nor to destroy anything in it. We fin I them, however, carrying away the guns from the fortifications,'—eight were lately exhibited, which assuredly cost the Prussians neither killed nor wounded, on one of the public squares of Berlin— and the official Anzeiger has just informed us that the works of the Dannewerk and those of Fried- richstadt are to be disarmed and razed. By what right do the Germans dismantle the fortresses that have been abandoned to them, and appropriate ord nance which does not belong to them, in a country which they declare themselves to have become pos. sessed of only as a material guarantee? And only two days ago it was declared in official quarters here that Prussia was not at war with Denmark ! With the Guards at Kolding that silly figment can hardly be maintained. Among the vast number of persons in Germany who busy themselves with journalism there is a certain class which is particularly occupied with the compo sition or combination of news, chiefly for transmis- sion by telegraph. The usual abode of these hatchery of canards is in the large cities, whence they purvey novelties of their own fabrication to greedy telegraph agencies. Siace the war brokgout not a few of those gentlemen have abandoned their usual nests, and have strayed forward as tar as the Prussian cordon would allow them, and they continue their incubat ing process in the towns of Schleswig. It is surpris ing how they succeed in imposing even upon some of the more intelligent of the German journals. I know not whether the following precious specimen of bosh—one of the many daily inflicted upon us— has met your eye : " Flensburg, Feb. 19, Night. " The demonstrative march of the Prussian Guard on Kolding is only intended to exercise a pressure on the Western Powers, who aro interposing to bring about an armistice. No further advance is ordered, but the recali of the Guard is, on the coa -1 trary, probable, as well as the conclusion of the ar m istice." It would be difficult to express more absurdities and misstatements in the same number of words. Prussia, whom we know to be dead against an ar• mistice, goes into Jutland to exercise a pressure on the great Powers —or, as we must suppose the writer to mean, if he means anything, to induce Denmark to accept the suspension of arms, to which she is known to be equally averse. As to its being probable that an armistice will be agreed upon, there is not a shadow of foundation for the state ment. According to all present appearances there will be more fighting as soon as the necessary pre parations can be made. These may take some time, owing to roads and weather. We are again in the depth of winter, with heavy snow and hard frost. Yesterday the snow was very severe ; to-day it is milder, and more snow is falling. The last week of February is little better than was the first. Letters from officers describe their straits and privations up in the front as very rigorous. Either the Danish army had swept Schleswig of its stores, or the riches of that duchy have been much exaggerated. There is literally nothing to be bought there; the troops live on their rations of meat and bread, brought up from far in the rear; brandy and coffee, which the climate and exposure render most de sirable supplies, are stated in some of the letters referred to to be for the most part wanting, while the quarters afforded by the North Schleswig vil lages are generally very wretched. A widely-circulated Belgian paper lately published a telegram announcing that Gen. Manteuffel had failed in the object of his mission to Dresden. This is quite incorrect. The object was to prevent Fede ral reserves being sent into Holstein, and it was attained ; not, however, it is related in political circles here, until Gen. Mantenifel had given the Saxon Government plainly to understand that Prussia was resolved not to tolerate opposition on the part of its puny neighbour, but would, if neces• nary, have recourse to very strong means to over come its obstinacy. This announcement, employed when all other arguments had failed, brought M. von Beast to his senses. The communication with Copenhagen is again in terrrupted, and letters have to go round by Sweden. VIENNA, Feb. 2 Yesterday morning the Austrian Government learned from Hadersheben in Schleswig that there had been " an unimportant rencounter with the enemy's cavalry at Gudsoe," a small place in the Danish province of Jutland, to the north of the road which leads from Bolding to Fredericia ; and later in the day a telegram from Copenhagen announced the arrival "of a considerable body of German troops in Paaby and Eistrnp in Jutland." The news was not made known to the Vienna public until yesterday evening, and when known but few per. sons appeared to be fully aware of its importan ce . Late in the evening of yesterday I saw a p erson who must be well acquainted with the opinions and views of the Imperial Court and Cabinet, and he gave me the assurance that the entry of German troops into Jutland had both surprised and dis pleased the Emperor and his Ministers, "it being a violation of one of the conditions of the Aw4tro• Prussian convention." A few hours ego had a long interview with a person high in office, and he requested me to state that the 1m perial Government highly disapproved the step which Marshal Wraugelhad taken. In the course of the morning I managed to acquire information which will enable you to form a tolerably correct idea of what has been doing here during the last four and twenty hours. On the receipt of the news that there had been a collision w i t h the Danish cavalry on the northern side of the frontier of Schleswig, Count Rechberg requested Baron NI Cher, the Prussian Minister at this Court, to call on _e2 ' IN 1:: w s pApF, It /42 , ,: r .— f t e ,Z 7 7. <5,- ; ,,r1 - 7-77:c --- --\ 7 A ------- / ;(e.. - -,..,_ ,, .. -- -j_.k:;:,„,\‘ ?

During tl , .e afternoon of yesterday the electric telegrap Ii bet ,weep this city and Berlin was continually at A Nork, but the only it iformation that could be obtaine d from M. von Bietnark was, that he was as much sar.prised as Count .Rechberg at what had occurre d. The Berlin Government will try to make the • r orld believe that the German cavalry followed then xnes into Jutland in the hea t of battle, but it is )30t, :likely that the cactus will be accepted,it being a Wei. 1-known fact that Prussia has recently been endeavor , - ing to persuade Austria to allow her troops to cute. - Jutland. At 2 o'q:lock yes terday afternoon a Cabi net Council, Kt which the Emperor presided, w: a held, Hul I to-day Tern that it lasted full 3 hou rs a.nd a half. Notwithstand ing repeated applicatioi. sto B erlin this Government has been unaNe to learn whether any parr ~f the Im perial cavalry was engaeed at Giadsoe, ac d instruc tions have therefore been sent to Lieutenr.nr-Gene ral von G:.blenz to retnain passiv,.; until he receives instructions from his superiors in this ci y. It re mains to be seen whether Count Rechharg has been deceived by M.:von Bismat k, or whether the Prus sian military authorities have wilfully disre garded the orders received from the Royal Cabinet. As a matter of course, Austria will endeavour to prove to England toodFrance that she has not broken the promises made to them in respect: to Denmark, but it is doubtful whether they will give her credit for sincerity if she should continue to co-operate with such a slippery Power as Prussia. It is not unlike 4 that Marshal Wrangel will receive orders to quit Jutland immediately, bat if his Sovereign should refuse to recall his troops from that province, neither France, England, nor Russia can possibly allow a German Power to establish itself in a coun try which completely commands the North Sea on the one side and the Baltic on the other. Though there has been no collusion between Anstria and Prussia, it cannot justly be said that the policy of the latter is free from ambigaity. The Imperial Government would fain stand well with all parties, and, as a matter of course, it stands well with none. It continues ro assure the British and French Governments that its "military action" is confined to the occupation of Schleswig, and at the same time it endeavours to win favour with the Band by ordering 13 heavily-armed vessels of war to cruise in the Adriatic And Mediterranean for the protection of the Austrian and German flags. Five vessels will remain in the waters of the Adriatic, six in the Mediterranean, and two—the Emperor, a ship of the tine carrying 91 guns, and the Frede rick, a schooner with 22 guns—will go to the North Sea. A few days ago an embargo was laid on a Danish vessel at Trieste, but it was raised as soon as it was found that her owners were Holsteiners. " During the last four and twenty hours," says a well-informed diplomatist, " two highly important resolutions have been taken here—the one is, that the integrity ofDen mark shall be strictly maintained; the other, that if the Bund should resolve to admit a representative of Duke Frederick of Augnsten burg—as Doke of Holstein—to its sittings, Baron Kubeck will enter a protest against such an illegal proceeding, and then retire from the room." In the last number of the Frankfort Journal is a passage, which I quote, as it will serve to show that the Germans have no high opinion of the patriotism of the two g►eat Powers : "At last the mask is fallen. Prussia is to have Holstein, Schleswig is at a fitting moment to be restored to Denmark, and Austria is to be rewarded for her complaisance by Prussia's guaranteeing to her the possession of Venetia." The trophies of war from Schleswig arrived here yesterday, and were at once taken to the Imperial Mews, where they wiil be exhibited to the public. The trophies, which consisted of one 4-pounder, three 24-pounders, two mortars for throwing 841 b. shells, and 12 Danish flags or pennons, were ac companied by twelve men who had received gold and silver medals as a reward for their ,4allant con duct at Gross Selk and Oversee. A. vast crowd ac companied the procession from the Northern Rail way terminus to the Mews, and every now and then it,gave vent to its patriotic feelings in loud and hearty cheers. HALF•PAST FIVE. I have just received the following brief but im portant notice : " The temporary occupation or holding was the conscquenco of an encounter of some Danish and Austro Prussian troops on the frontier of Jutland. In as far as Austria is concerned, the .flair will lead to no alteration in the character of the military occupation of Schles wig• The ends to be attained by tnat occupation are the same as they were a week ago." The Seizure of an English Ship in Malaga. The Correspondencia of Madrid gives the follow ing details of the seizure in the port of Malaga of the English steamer having cannon and war like stores on board, as has been already briefly mentioned:— Captain Sinclair declares that the vessel had no other object in entering Malaga than to get a supply of coals and provisions. The crew is composed of 16 men. The Carbineers who had been put on board state that as the authorities discovered that the ves sel had artillery and other warlike stores in her hold, the Civil Governor went on board. It has been proved that although the vessel is said to have come from Newcastle, she was from London and bound to Ancona. She was freighted by a person named Manuel, whom the captain does not know, and is consigned to the same person, with orders to touch at Vigo, Malaga, and Barcelona. The captain says that he had touched at Vigo, and also at Ferrol, where he was obliged to repair his engine. The vessel has on board five cannon (two of them rifled), 150 Minie rifles, 150 revolvers, 400 sabres, 44 barrels of guLpowder, 100 pairs of thick shoes, 200 pairs of trousers, 200 cloaks, 40 boxes of loaded shells, &c. The cannon were concealed under the ballast. Shocking Murder in Glasgow. At a late hour on Tuesday night an atrocious murder was perpetrated in Maitland-street, Cowcaddens, Glasgow. The victim is a woman about 30 years of age, named Jessie Gordon, and the person by whose hands the unfortunate creature has been bereft of life is believed to be one John or William Blair, a joiner by trade, residing at 511, Dobbie's loan. m a T n h e a n p d a r t w i e t s f o. had l Ab i v o e n d t t a o g m e o t h n e t r h f a o g r o h n o u w mb e ve e of rr ,the y y ears as sepa rated, but on Tuesday night, shortly before 11 o'clock, they appeared together in the public •house of Mr. Alexander Ferguson, in Maitland-street. They went into a box by themselves, and, according to the testimony of a waitress employed in the shop, they were supplied with two glasses of whisky and a glass of ale. After they had been in the place a short time a quarr e l arose between them, an d pre sently their voices were h ear d in loud altercation. I n th e heat of the dispute the woman was seen by som e parties in the shop to throw a b o t t l e at her companion, an d Bl a i r w as subsequently heard t o threaten that he wou ld do for her. Almost immediately afterwards Blair left the shop, and proceeded down Maitland-street towards Dobbie's-loan. The woman followed him out, and took the same direction along the street. No one seems to have taken any particular notice of them at this time ; but a minute or two afterwards the attention of the persons in Mr. Fergusan's shop, and of every one else within ear shot, was arrested by a loud cry of murder proceeding from the quarter towards which they had gone. A girl, named Catherine Lyon or Nelson, who happened to be in Fergu son's, at once ran down the street, in the direction of the cries, and 'about 40 yards from the shop door she found the woman Gordon standing on the pavement, with blood spout ing from a wound in the neck. By this time the unfortu nate woman was surrounded by a crowd of neople, to whom she intimated that she had been stabbed by the man in whose company she had been seen. Within a few minutes after the alarm had been raised, Dr. Renfrew was in attendance. Ho administered the usual restoratives re sorted to in such cases, but without success, for the patient gradually sank, and expired about 25 minutes after biseraerd rival. When the body was examined, it diBrtured that, two wounds had been inflicted. One was ayu wound on the left side of the neck, in the r 4;7 of carotid artery, The other wound was iltooo-fi°,urths of an character, on the tight sh;ailder, about -- re : o f the wounds inch in depth. Judging from the appearance with a small one would infer that they were ' pocket- knife.
